Re: New computer,what should I go for,mac,windows etc
Yeah, that is the Inspiron 5000 series, that's weird, maybe it's different in India?
Based on the top answer given in the link below, I guess it is possible for 5000 series laptops to haveI3's, all be it unlikely; maybe that's changed in the later models?

So you could look at 7000 Series models to play it safe, or just do a bit more hunting, calling or emailing Dell if it ends up being necessary.
Also yes, that is the correct Macbook model in the Amazon link.
U series processors simply trade some clock rate for some power savings, so it really doesn't matter as long as the minimum that you want is still reached.
Manufacturers often do this to obtain longer battery life, if they determine that the expected user experience for that class of machine won't suffer enough to make a noticeable difference.
There is no additional power throttling beyond that which happens when heat levels are beyond a certain point or when the machine is in sleep mode, which happens with any modern CPU anyway...
Essentially it just does what it says on the box, so I really wouldn't worry about it.
The reason you don't see processors with the M suffix these days is firstly because that changed to U for the most part in Hazwell, (4000) series processors and up, but also because desktop sales have declined so much that it's kind of redundant to add ("mobile") to the large majority of them anyway.
Besides, M class is still around in a way, just in a different form with the "Core M" series of processors, which are found in fanless computers, most commonly high powered Windows based tablets and convertibles.
Intel actually has a hole page about it if your curious to see what all the various suffixes mean.
